Checking Volumes Into A Library - IBM E16RMLL-I - Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Manual

We recommend that you keep a record of these volumes for tracking purposes
and use it as a shipping list for your off-site location.
The tape volumes should now be moved from the off-site location to your on-site
location.
Updating volume locations to on-site
When the previously identified tape volumes have been returned on-site, you
must update the location and access mode so that the volume can be reused. In
the next example, both volumes are deleted from the storage pool location and
are now considered scratch volumes, as shown in Example 13-40.

13.7.6 Checking volumes into a library

To inform the server that a new volume is available in an automated library,
check in the volume with the checkin libvolume command or label libvolume
command with the
server adds the volume to its library volume inventory. You can use the label
libvolume command to check in and label volumes in one operation.
When you check in a volume, you must supply the name of the library and the
status of the volume (private or scratch). Do not mix volumes with barcode labels
and volumes without barcode labels in a library device because barcode
scanning can take a long time for unlabeled volumes. Use the checklabel=yes
(not NO or BARCODE) option on the checkin libvolume command when checking
VolSafe volumes into a library. This is true for both ACSLS and SCSI libraries.
